strike a ,waste or chip the ice 1 the operator to accomplish a greater amount 1 of work. l r s A further object of the invention is to provide anice pick or blocker wherein a plu- H rality oftines are employed which may be I readily removed from v ,onefof the same become one inserted in its place. "Still 'anotherobject of l which is easily to "provide a device for blocking ice after the samehas been sawed A second object ofthe invention is to provide a device of this character which will not and which will enable the device should any broken and a new the invention is to provide a handimplement for blocking ice operated and which will blow at two points thereby causing greater force to be transmitted to the ice.

Still another object of the invention is to provide an ice blocking implement which is simple in construction, which consists of 1 If few parts whichmay be assembled and disassembled readily,

structed and; placed on the market at a minimum cost. With the above and other objects and adand which may be con- !vahtages in-m nd, the invention consists of I; *combinations of, elements, parts, construct ons and arrangements of erations, and general assemblage,the detai s of which will be hereinafter fully. enlarged upon and illustrated in the accompanying-drawings, the inventive featuresbeing explicitly defined in r r taken on 55 of reference deslgnate llke parts the sub-joined claims.

the views,"theminieral, 5f designates a cross head whichuisiin theform of a heavy rectang'ular bar of metal. -A plurality of alinedice piercing tines 6 have their upper ends threaded as indicated at 7 into the bar 5.

Threaded into the upper 'face of the bar'5 and centrally thereof is a rod 10 which is held against rotation by a set screw 11. The upper end of rod 10 is threaded as indicated at 12 and receives a nut 13 that constitutes a stop. Positioned on the lower end of the rod 10 and upon the upper face of the bar 5 is an internally threaded nipple 14: in which is received the threaded end of a barrel 15, the upper end of which has a nipple 16 threaded thereon, which is provided with an openin 17 for the reception of the rod 10. Slidfdoly mounted upon the rod 10 is a reciprocatory striker or tubular member 18 which has nipples 19 threaded upon its opposite' ends, the lower nipple 19 being engag'eable with the stop 13 upon the ralsing of the striker 18 to limit the movement of the same. A head is mounted upon the nipple 16.

In the operation of the device tines 6 are engaged with the ice and the striker 18 reciprocated, the striker contacting with the head 20 and the nipple carried by the upper end of the striker engaging the upper end of the rod 10.

This embodiment of the invention is considered the preferred form but it is to be understood that the same may be modified in many respects and that my limits of modification are only governed by what is claimed.

What is claimed is 1. In a device of the character described, a heavy bar, a plurality of tines carried thereby, a rod carried by the bar, a barrel arranged upon the lower end of the rod, a striker head removably mounted on the rod and supported upon the upper end of the barrel, and a tubular member slidably mounted upon the rod adapted to engage the striking head upon the descension of the former member.

2. In a device of the character described, a relatively heavy bar, a plurality of tines extended from the bar, a rod secured to the bar, a nipple positioned upon the rod and bearin against the bar, a barrel threaded into t e nipple, a second nipple threaded upon the upper end of the barrel, a striker 3.'In a deVi'ce (if thelehai'aqterdescribed;
